Hello, I am currently facing an issue with regards to loading a custom trained NER model.
My project uses OpenNLP 1.6.0 and is developed using Eclipse IDE. The model was also trained using OpenNLP 1.6.0. However, when I try to load the model *InputStream* into a *TokenNameFinderModel* object, I get the following error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException : opennlp.tools.util.InvalidFormatException: Model version 1.6.0 is not supported by this (1.5.3) version of OpenNLP! Based on info I've gathered from sites like StackOverflow (such as this <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33250241/why-is-a-self-trained-ner-model-incompatible-with-the-version-of-opennlp> question), I get the sense that if I want to use a custom trained model in OpenNLP 1.6.0, it has to be trained using OpenNLP 1.5.3. However, I personally do not think that is the case, as I have other Java projects using OpenNLP 1.6.0, and they were able to load the model successfully. The *.classpath* of my project also shows that the project is referencing the OpenNLP 1.6.0 libraries. I know the question is rather vague, but if anyone has any insight into why this could be happening, please let me know! Help is greatly appreciated. *To sum up: Unable to load custom trained OpenNLP Name Finder model in code due to apparent OpenNLP version incompatibility. Model was trained in OpenNLP 1.6.0, which my project also uses. Other projects also using 1.6.0 were able to load the model successfully.* Regards, David Lim
